For today’s competitive environment, organizations are required to
increase their performance continuously in order to survive. Human capital is
one of the most important aspects, which increases performance. In this study,
the influence of human capital on organizational performance is examined. The
study was conducted between November 2016 and January 2017 in private
healthcare organizations operating in Istanbul. The sample includes the
managers working in healthcare organizations. According to the findings, it is
founded that there is a positive but low correlation between human capital and
organizational performance. Similarly, according to the managers, human capital influences organizational performance in a positive way, however its
affect is relatively low. Depending on these results, it is concluded that
managers’ awareness related to human capital is not sufficient, and increasing
these awareness in further studies is recommended.
